Designers turn shipping container into kiosk
An interactive visitor information display at a harbour in the Norwegian capital Oslo is housed, appropriately enough, in a shipping container.
The kiosk, in the Aker Brygge area near the city centre, uses four 46-inch NEC thin-bezel monitors with a 92-inch ViP Interactive Foil from Visual Planet to provide a touch interface.
Operated by Norway’s Coastal Society, it provides historical and tourist information on the locality. Users can also share their own information through the system via a multilingual Web interface.
A pilot project, the system was designed by Norwegian firms Back and Touch-It.
